The gameplay is reminiscent of classic metroidvanias, particularly echoing elements from Hollow Knight, such as spike pogoing, a charm system, and engaging platforming challenges that offer rewards and upgrades. Players are encouraged to try the demo, as many find the experience enjoyable even after several hours of play.
